Leonard Bernstein gives a tough, craggy rendition of the score; the playing of the Philharmonic is very sonorous, the recording close and vivid. --Ted Libbey Amazon.com This is one of many recordings of Roy Harris's extraordinary Symphony 3, and one of the best. When the symphony appeared in 1939 it blew everybody away, so to speak. Nothing like it had ever been heard before and Harris always lived in the shadow of this brief (18 minute) work. Also here is William Schuman's Symphony 3, written just two years later. Schuman was one of Harris's students and his earlier symphonies, including this one, show it. Schuman adopts many of the same harmony arrangements as Harris, even to the tone of the strings. Schuman gets better, but the Harris is forever. --Paul Cook
